Edit the history, and count the top ten emperors at the beginning!

Chapter 168 Live up to the country, live up to the king
【Mu Liao said to Xiao He: "Xiangguo, you are not far from extermination!"

Xiao He was shocked and asked: "What is the explanation for this?"

The staff member explained for him: "You are an extremely high-ranking minister in the prime minister, and your status has already been promoted.

Moreover, Xiangguo, you have won the hearts of the people as soon as you entered the customs, and it has been more than ten years now.The people support you, but you are still doing some work to win the hearts of the people, this is a big taboo!

The reason why the emperor sent people to visit many times is actually because he is afraid of your actions, and he is afraid of you.

Therefore, you should not win the hearts of the people anymore, but should do something to discredit yourself.

In this way, the emperor can rest assured outside. "]

"Indeed, the more dedicated Xiao He is to his duties, the higher his reputation will be, and the more difficult it will be for Liu Bang to rest assured. After all, the prime minister at this time has too much power!"

"Wang Mang's usurpation of power is a good example, so Han Gaozu's concerns are indeed not unreasonable."

"There has been a gap between the monarch and his ministers. They will never go back to the past. It's a pity."

"Perhaps Xiao He himself will not have the heart of rebellion, but he cannot stand the possibility that other forces may use him."

Everyone suddenly understood Liu Bang, because Liu Bang had indeed been betrayed by people he trusted, the most typical ones being Cao Wushang and Yong Chi.

Xiao He, Cao Shen, Cao Wushang, Yong Chi and other Fengpei old friends were all old people who followed Liu Bang to raise troops.

The rebellion of Cao Wushang and Yong Chi had already planted a nail in Liu Bang's heart.

[Liu Bang was once betrayed by his cronies. It is said that once he was bitten by a snake for ten years, he was afraid of well ropes.

Back then, when Liu Bang started the incident, he used Fengyi, the birthplace of Liu Bang, as his base camp, and handed over Fengyi to Yongchi guards when he personally led his troops out to fight. As a result, Yongchi betrayed Liu Bang and took Fengyi as his Yongchi. base.

Faced with Yong Chi's betrayal, Liu Bang took a lot of effort to settle it.Many years later, after Liu Bang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he still had lingering fears about it.

Therefore, Liu Bang appointed Xiang Guowei to Xiao He, protecting Xiao He in name, but actually monitoring Xiao He, and guarding against Xiao He becoming the second Yong Chi. 】

[Although Xiao He's self-pollution played a role, it did not completely dispel Liu Bang's suspicion.

That year, Liu Bang was 62 years old and his condition was getting worse.

Liu Bang, who has been shot and rained for a long time, is quite open about life and death, and he does not hide his illness from medical treatment, let alone Qin Shihuang's dream of immortality.

However, why Liu Bang arrested Xiao He is unknown in the literature. We speculate that Liu Bang intended to kill Xiao He.

Xiao Hede is highly respected, and the officials only look up to him. Liu Bang is worried that if he dies, his cowardly son will not be able to shock everyone. If Xiao He has another heart, the Liu family will not be able to protect his country.

For the sake of his children and grandchildren, he naturally wanted to get rid of Xiao He. On this point, Zhu Yuanzhang had the same idea as him. 】

Zhu Yuanzhang said as a matter of course: "In order to ensure that the grandson can stay in the country, the old brothers should leave with us!"

But after a while, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "I have calculated thousands of times, but I didn't calculate that the fourth son would rebel!"

"Let us see the fourth child later, we have to beat him up again!"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang's tone and expression were fierce, there was no murderous look on him.

To his family, Zhu Yuanzhang is always extremely gentle.

【For the first time in his life, Xiao He was imprisoned, and it was the prison of the Great Han Dynasty, where he was the number one hero who founded the country.

Xiao He didn't make any defense, and looked resigned to his fate.

None of the veterans who were of the same generation as Xiao He spoke for him, they all knew that Liu Bang had murderous intentions towards Xiao He! 】

【Xiao He was able to survive the catastrophe in the end, thanks to a Wei Wei named Wang.

Wei Wei is one of the nine ministers, commanding the guards and guarding the gate of the palace.What is the name of this Wang Weiwei, the literature is missing.From this point of view, he should not be a founding father with outstanding military exploits. 】

[That day, when he was on duty in the palace, Liu Bang asked him to talk, and he asked cautiously, "What crime did Xiangguo commit? Your Majesty, you actually threw him into a big prison?"

Liu Bang said, "Xiangguo took the merchant's gold and came to claim my garden to flatter the common people, so he was arrested."

These words more or less revealed the reason why Liu Bang arrested Xiao He: Xiao He flattered the people and competed with him for their hearts.

To put it bluntly, Liu Bang was worried that Xiao He's prestige would be too high, which would endanger the Liu family.

This is what he was always on guard against, and the older he got, the more he suspected Xiao He.

Wang Weiwei is obviously not the kind of person who would add insult to injury, and he is also a person who can tell right from wrong.

Although others spoke lightly, they still distinguished a few words for Xiao He: "It is within the power of the prime minister to invite the emperor for the convenience of the people. How can your majesty suspect that the prime minister has accepted the gold from the merchant!"

These words actually hit Liu Bang's sore spot.

Liu Bang said that Xiao He accepted bribes, which was purely "unnecessary".But if there is no crime, how can he throw a current prime minister into prison?
Wang Weiwei uncovered Liu Bang's scar, and Liu Bang immediately pulled his face down.

However, Wang Weiwei completely disregarded Liu Bang's mood, and continued according to his own thoughts: "Back then, Your Majesty and Xiang Yu competed in the Central Plains, and Xiao He stayed in Guanzhong. If he had half-hearted, Guanzhong would not belong to Your Majesty.

Chen Xi and Yingbo rebelled, and His Majesty's personal conquest was also Xiao He's stay behind. If he has another heart, it is also a great opportunity.

Xiao Cheng has always been loyal to His Majesty and never seeks personal gain, so why would he value a little gold from a businessman now?
It was because Qin Shihuang didn't hear about his fault that Qin Dynasty II eventually died, so what is there to praise for Li Si's responsibility for the emperor? ! "

After hearing Wang Weiwei's words, Liu Bang finally fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a long time, he finally ordered Xiao He to be released.

Of course, Liu Bang's "conscience" discovered this. On the other hand, he probably also took into account the impact of this matter on the ministers.

Even if Wang Weiwei thought about this matter in this way, those who were born and died with Xiao He might not only have the same thought, but also worry about following in Xiao He's footsteps and doing something big.

Their silence is only a superficial phenomenon, and what is smoldering in their hearts is resentment and fear. Once it breaks out, the consequences will be disastrous. 】

[Xiao He was released, and his mood was extremely complicated.

Barefoot and dressed like a criminal, he entered the palace to thank Liu Bang for not killing him.

Looking at the white-haired old Xiangguo kneeling at his feet in trepidation, Liu Bang felt both remorse and heartache.

In the end, until Liu Bang passed away, he never felt sorry for Xiao He. 】

[After Liu Bang passed away, the Crown Prince Liu Ying inherited the throne as Emperor Hui.

Xiao He resumed his status as prime minister and continued to assist the emperor of the Han Dynasty.Unfortunately, Xiao He was seriously ill at that time, and he also died three years after Liu Bang's death. 】

[Xiao Hechu was a small official at the end of Qin Dynasty, but he was able to take advantage of the momentum and support Pei Gong.Entering Guanzhong, he persuaded Liu Bang to avoid Xiang Yu's sharpness, condescend to the king of Hanzhong, and Xu Tu world.

With his unique insight, he chased Han Xin under the moon, and made the "Three Heroes of Han Xing" under Liu Bang alone.

Chu and Han were fighting, and he stayed behind to provide sufficient support for Liu Bang; the Han Dynasty was established at the beginning, to govern the country and secure the country, and to promulgate laws and regulations!

Although Xiao He is the least well-known one among the three masters in the early Han Dynasty, he is the most indispensable cornerstone for the establishment of the Han Dynasty. He ranks second among the top ten famous figures in history, and he deserves his name! 】
